Est. 1971 · Stroud valleys
Good homes, built by the same family since 1971.
We build new homes, extensions, renovations and barn & chapel conversions across the Cotswolds — with our own joiners, our own masons and the same phone number for 55 years.

- 28 of us, joiners & masons included
Our promise
Four promises, in writing.
They’re in every contract we sign. Arthur started with the first two in 1971; his granddaughters added the other two.
A tidy site, every Friday
Brooms out at three o’clock. Your drive, your road and your neighbours’ verges get swept before we go home.
A 10-year structural warranty
Insurer-backed on every new home and conversion, so it still counts if we ever stop answering the phone. (We won’t.)
One project manager
One name, one mobile number, start to finish. They’ll be on your site at least three mornings a week.
Lately
Homes we’ve built (and the families in them).

Kind words
What the neighbours say.
4.9 out of 5 from 186 homeowners
★★★★★“Two builders told us the barn couldn’t be saved. Ruth’s team saved the barn, the old ash tree and — just about — our sanity. The site was cleaner than our kitchen.”
★★★★★“The quote was the price. Not ‘about’ the price — the price. Dennis built our staircase in the yard and carried it in on a Tuesday. It’s the best thing in the house.”
★★★★★“We lived in the house through the whole extension with two kids and a spaniel. Jess rang every Friday with what was happening next week. Never once a surprise.”
Currently building in
Seven villages, all within twelve miles of the yard.
We don’t chase work across the county. Staying close means our joiners are never more than twenty minutes from your site — and nor is the tea urn.
